Bake Blueberry Scones for a Better Breakfast

Weekday breakfasts can be a dodgy affair. Those early-morning minutes seem to slip by until suddenly there’s no time left. Then you’re rushing out the door, dropping half-dressed kids off at school, wondering whether you actually made coffee (hint: if you have to ask, you probably didn’t), and considering which section of the office vending machine is going to get you through lunch. Again.

This week, plan ahead. You can make these blueberry oat scones tonight (yes, tonight!), and tomorrow you’ll have a fistful of goodness to grab on your way out the door. The whole grain oats are not only good for you, but they’ve got lots of complex carbohydrates, which means you’ll have more energy, for longer. (How do we know? Science.) But more importantly, they’re delicious (studded with blueberries and brown sugar) and easy (they take about half an hour to bake). Make enough to keep your mornings running smoothly for the rest of the week, and beyond. And get your kids dressed, for goodness sake.
